Listen "How a Developer Builds Fast, Learns Faster, and Delegates to AI"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I’m joined by Erik Faz Jurgensen, a visionary developer and one of the most creative builders I’ve met. Erik has worked across Web3, government tech, and AI innovation, often managing more than 20 projects at a time. He taught himself to code using YouTube and hands-on experimentation. This conversation explores what it means to “vibe code,” why Erik avoids full YOLO-mode with agents, and how he built an AI assistant that manages a whole team of task-specific AI agents. If you’ve ever wondered how to go from gamer to full-stack AI-enhanced dev, this one is for you.🔥 Topics We Cover:How Erik taught himself to code without a CS degreeHis journey from gamer to solo dev with a profitable freelance businessVibe coding: what it means, why it works, and how AI accelerates everythingHow Erik built an AI agent team using Relevance AI and n8nWhy developers should say “yes first, learn later” in the AI ageWhat people are still sleeping on when it comes to AI adoption🧰 Tools Mentioned in This Episode:Learning: YouTube, Stack Overflow, ChatGPTCoding + IDE: Cursor, GitHubVoice + Media: 11 Labs, Leonardo AIModels: GPT-4, Claude, Gemini (Google X), xAI (Twitter)Low/No-Code Platforms: n8n, Relevance AIUI Tools: Bolt.new, Lovable.dev, v0.dev📚 Mentioned Book: Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy🎥 Tutorial Discussed: Relevance AI: Build an AI Agent Team (YouTube)🔗 Connect with Erik:Portfolio: https://portfolio-erik.vercel.app/Twitter/X: @erikfazjWant to be featured?
